I think that trailer is incredible. The crowd scenes are frightening and unique, zombies literally spilling over one another like rats in a pile are something I haven't seen before. This film looks like it could shake up and bring something different to the over-played zombie thing, like Dawn Of The Dead did when that came out.

if you forget the book entirely and look at it objectively (i have not read it) it looks awesome. Zombie Hordes never looked more frightening outside of a football/soccer when the hooligans are let loose.

I just crawled out to daylight from a cave and I watched WWZ without ever hearing about it, so i was thinking it was about a war and I was "meh". The running crowds I thought were frightened people and maybe chasing Pitt because he had something to do with the war or what ever.

But after I have read the comments and seen the word zombie, I was "Fast zombies???? Oh yeah".

To be honest I see two different critiques on the web:

1) The CGI is bad, you can see the 3d crowds from a mile.
2) It has nothing to do with the book so the movie sux.

I personally like it a lot, I enjoy fast zombies. Maybe that's why I liked Leatherface so much. A running villain is so much frightening.

Walking dead just makes me cringe when a character gets surprised eaten by a slow zombie that just spawned behind him.

This in not the book by a long shot. The book was a satire on society.
Take what ever problem we have and just insert a zombie instead.
What ever cool, interesting and funny bits that were in the book are not in this at all.
Almost make me wish they guys that did "Troll Hunter" would do a zombie movie.

Couldn't agree more.

I'm of the mind that this movie can be viewed as an entirely separate entity from the book. Clearly the content here is way different, but I'm optimistic about this film. It looks like it will bring a refreshing perspective to the genre. Personally I think the CG looks very exciting, and I'm eager to see a narrative that speaks to the containment of this kind of outbreak. I love The Walking Dead, but the focus there is predominantly focused on the characters and not the actual outbreak.
